To all you kids!

Breakfast: Always start your day with a healthy breakfast. It will give you energy to pay attention in class. Nutrition rich cereals and smoothies are great breakfast tips. Smoothies are very simple to make. Mix some fruits, yogurt and milk into a blender and enjoy your delicious tasting smoothie!

Calcium: Since your body is growing, you need calcium for healthy bones. Choose low-fat milk, instead of soda or juice at meals. Make it yummy and grab a low-fat chocolate drink or a smoothie.

Vegetables and Fruits: Fill half your plate with vegetables and fruits at each meal. Vegetables and fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals!

Snack: You need energy throughout the whole day, so pack some healthy snacks in your backpack for school or after school activities. Bring fruits, vegetables, string cheese, some almond granola bars, or a pudding cup.
